Colossal Order and Paradox Interactive are desperately trying to revive the reputation of the city-building simulator Cities: Skylines 2 and to attract attention to the game, they have made it temporarily free.

What we know

The developers announced that until 20:00 (CET) on November 10, users can try Cities: Skylines 2 for free.

Gamers have access to all content except DLCs, and those who want to purchase the game are offered a 20% discount on the standard edition, but the prices for DLC and the Ultimate Edition are not reduced.

The technical state of Cities: Skylines 2 at release was disheartening, but numerous updates have been released since then and although the game is still far from perfect, the issues have become much less.

Let's recall that currently in Steam (and on Xbox) there is a similar event with free access to the role-playing game Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.
